Friends Make a Difference Mentoring Program
We have a great opportunity to be a mentor to a Lakeside student! We meet once a month during the lunch period.
Mentorship can make a positive difference in the life of a young person, the mentor, and the community. Investing time and energy in long-term mentor/mentee relationships with our youth is beneficial in preparing them for a future of serving themselves and others. Research confirms that mentoring works!
We encourage you to consider helping make a difference by participating in the valuable friendship mentoring program.
